BASIC INFORMATION

The Southern Grove Community Development District No’s. 1-6 (“Districts”) are independent special districts, created pursuant to and existing under the provisions of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and established by Ordinance No’s 07-33 through 07-38 by the City Council of the City of Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida on April 9, 2007 and amended Ordinance No. 09-68 enacted August 24, 2009. The Districts include within their boundaries approximately 3,605 acres of land located in the City of Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, west of Interstate 95 and south of Gatlin Boulevard.

BOARD INFORMATION

Florida Law requires that the District publish an annual meeting schedule for the fiscal year one time in a newspaper of general circulation in St. Lucie County. Staff also works with other communication providers in the community to post dates and times of meetings for the public’s information. The Board may decide to cancel or reschedule any of its meetings, or add meetings or workshops as items of business dictate. These new meetings will be advertised in the newspaper at least seven (7) days in advance, and agendas are available on the website a week prior to the meeting.

Budgets

The Board adopts the budget each year in accordance with a process outlined in the Florida Statutes. Each Fiscal Year runs from October 1 to September 30. The operative words in this process are “approve” and “adopt.” The Board will first approve a proposed budget in the spring and will provide it to the City of Orlando at least 60 days before the budget hearing, at which time the Board will adopt the final budget and levy the resulting non-ad valorem assessments.

AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

As the District’s audited financial statements are prepared by an independent auditor, and accepted by the Board, we will post them on the website for your information. If you are interested in an audit for a previous fiscal year, please contact the District Office.
